Frequently Asked Questions

我如何知道一所学院或大学是否获得了地区认证?

绝大多数授予学位的学院和大学都符合这一要求. 通常，认证状态会在机构网站上列出. If you are unsure about whether an institution is accredited, please contact the Occidental Registrar's Office (registrar@tbc007.net) for additional guidance.

What's the difference between quarter and semester units?

学院和大学使用各种各样的系统来授予和跟踪学分. The most common systems are quarter units and semester units, 它们通常与一个机构的学术日历(e.g. 10 week quarters vs. 14 weeks semesters).

Occidental uses semester units. 在其他采用学期制的学校学习的课程将不会被转换. 在使用四分之一单位的学校开设的课程将转换为a .66 multiplier. 例如，5个季度的课程将获得3个学期的学分转学.

Can I take business or marketing courses for transfer credit?

商业和市场营销课程通常由西方经济系主任批准. The department's policy is as follows:

经济系的政策是，所有学生都可以在牛津大学或其他学术机构修习一门预专业商业或会计课程，并获得学分. 已经获得ECON 233:会计和财务分析学分的学生将不被批准获得额外商业或会计课程的转学分. Likewise, 获得商业或会计课程转学分的学生，如果没有通过特别考虑请愿书获得特别批准，将不允许参加ECON 233课程.

Can I take an anthropology course for transfer credit?

Even though Occidental doesn't have an anthropology department, 人类学课程通常可以转学分. Students should contact the Associate Dean for Curricular Affairs to request approval.

如果我在没有获得预先批准的情况下选修了转学课程，我该怎么办?

在完成另一所学院或大学的课程后，仍然可以通过提交转学分/课程替代表来获得转学分. Please note, however, that there is no guarantee that a course will be approved, 因此，最好提前获得课程批准，以确保你不会浪费时间和金钱在一个不会获得转学分的课程上.
